Autumn Baby Blanket

I know it's July, But this is the time of year I write new patterns, get kits put together for my Etsy shop and think about Christmas knitting and crocheting. Here's something I'm working on. One simple pattern, three different yarn weights, three spectacular gifts for babies, teens and adults. I love my yummy yarn (any yarn you don't find in your local craft store), however, sometimes it's too costly for gift giving.

So, the pattern will have yarn suggestions that you find in your Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Joann Fabric stores. For my overseas friends, these are our local craft stores. This sample is a DK weight (3). I think I'll use sock yarn for the pattern. I'm sure most of you have loads of it in your stash, I know I do! Maybe it would be fun to have a, sort of patchwork look using different skeins of sock yarn but all the same colors. I'll have to think on that and play around with it.

I'm going to also crochet up a sample in some worsted weight (4) yarn. Solid colors, but with a gradient or ombre effect. Solid colors are typically less expensive than gradient yarns.

Super bulky weight (6) too, which is one of my favorite weights. Maybe three different edgings as well.
